DragonPass is the cheapest way on this list to get into airport lounges a few times a year. Its membership page lists three plans: Solo Travel at $79 a year with 2 passes, Better Travel at $309 with 8 passes, and Travel Together at $449 with 12 passes. Each pass opens a participating lounge in a network of 1,400+, and on the two higher plans a pass can instead go toward $32 of airport dining credit or Fast Track security. Better Travel lets you share passes with one guest and Travel Together with up to five, and every plan includes a free global eSIM valid for seven days. The model suits light travelers who know roughly how many trips they will take. Frequent flyers will run out of passes quickly, and extra passes cost $37 to $39 each, which makes a card with unlimited Priority Pass access cheaper after a dozen visits. Pre-booking a lounge carries an extra fee.
Who it is for

From $79 a year for 2 passes.
